Let's identify one truth: Pelosi and Schiff are brilliant for not taking the bait.

And the Republicans looked especially stupid today. They look far more stupid than they did yesterday, and yesterday they looked pretty stupid. Just waiting the jerks out was clearly the smartest thing to do. I wonder whose idea today's stupid move by the Republicans was?..I don't know, but we will all find out, someday. But it does have the markings of one particularly stupid person, whose name I will not repeat here.

About the "Political Stunt of Storming a Hearing." Looks like Trump's idea to me..

..I got no clues or contacts to this idea of storming and stopping a hearing while in progress. Don't know nothing. But it is kind of sleazy and stupid. Kind of thing Trump would think of. Stop everything in its tracks, by literally putting a bus in front of the road that crosses the tracks. Bus loaded with kids, and info that the bus is stuck on the tracks way ahead of time, so the train must stop.
...Who has an idea like that? Maybe that is what the Republicans are? But it is a very sad reflection no matter where the idea came from. I wonder how long the pukes will sit on the tracks? Don't ask me, I am just an observer of the show.

Four Airline Attendants Arrested in Laundering Charges. (bringing in illegal money)

Here is Why I Posted this: The look on their faces says, "I didn't do nothing, how did I get caught?" and, "What am I doing here?"

These 4 people were absolutely sure they were going to get away with smuggling in money. Even though that is totally illegal, (and they knew it) they must have thought that they wouldn't get caught. (maybe, just maybe in the past, the 4 did it and got away with it, maybe)... And, that reminds me of a certain individual in the White House..who also acts like he shouldn't have gotten caught and he didn't do nothing. (along with his friend Rudy) Read the story and then, take a look at the 4 faces. ( You may not see that in them, but I do)

_______________________________________________________________________________________
Four American Airlines flight attendants were arrested at the Miami International Airport and charged with money laundering after bringing large amounts of cash into the country, police said.

The airline says it's working with law enforcement on their investigation.

The flight attendants were going through a routine customs check Monday during the time of their arrest, according to a Miami-Dade police report. One Customs and Border Patrol Agent was checking Carlos Alberto Munoz-Moyano, who had arrived on an incoming flight from Chile. The agent asked him how much money he was carrying, and Munoz-Moyano said he had $100, the police report said

He later changed his statement and said he had $9,000, according to the police report. The agent alerted other agents, who found other attendants from the same fight carrying large amounts of money, the report said; none had a license to transport the cash.

The police report has redacted what the flight attendants admitted to when they were interviewed by a Homeland Security Agent

(my comment:...) These people have that incredulous look, of how did I get caught? It ain't me, I didn't do nothing...Just as Rudy and Donald are saying,..I didn't do nothing. Yes, it is a far cry from what Donald Trump is doing, to what these four did, but you had better believe that the four thought they could get away with it, (it being bringing in illegal money)... just like Donald Trump thinks he can get away with it. (Rudy too)

One thing is absolutely sure, the four in the story above, are not getting away with anything.

Can Bill Taylor's testimony today have the same result as John Dean's testimony in 1974?

I guess this is a question for people who were there or know a lot about the "Watergate Testimony". Dean's testimony then was shattering and incredible. Of course it was direct testimony with Nixon, but it reflected exactly who Nixon was. Taylor's testimony about how a foreign nation could get dirt information on someone for an upcoming election, is not the same, but it also reflects exactly what Trump is/was. Will Trump call Taylor a liar or ignore what was said? We will find out. But today's testimony is indeed explosive just as John Dean's testimony was in 74. (One thing is for certain, someone will ask John Dean this exact same question)

Was there a "quid pro quo"?." that is the key, so I understand all of this

If indeed the money was withheld..it seems that it was???, then Trump's problems have increased
10 fold. What I read and understand as of now, that Trump did indeed withhold money. Is that true?
.If it is, then Trump is totally done..If it can be proven, that the money was withheld because Ukraine
would not make statements on this Biden accusation, then Trump has done something immoral as well as illegal. The meeting at the U.N. is not clear, were statements made then?...Thank You for additional information..

If true, Trump is done, gone, lost, out..it is just a matter of time...

Interesting Thought: "Most of the people who are currently at Democratic Underground would

do a better job at being President of the United States than Donald Trump." (if we would be willing to devote the time to the job.) It will take a lot of work to reverse the damage he has done, but most of us here would still do a much better job than Donald Trump.

Long Article from Huff Post- States that Tulsi May Have Hare Krishna Connections.

This article was updated 12/7/17

https://www.huffpost.com/entry/tulsi-gabbard-krishna-cult-rumors_n_6879588

HONOLULU — Eleven years ago, U.S. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, now a rising star in the Democratic Party, was a little-known state representative from a West Oahu district. It was her then-Republican father, Mike, who was in the political limelight.

The elder Gabbard, known for his virulent anti-gay crusade in the 1990s, was challenging Democratic incumbent Ed Case in the race to represent Hawaii’s 2nd Congressional District. So, for a profile piece, a writer at Honolulu Magazine emailed him and asked about his family’s ties to a guru named Chris Butler, aka Jagad Guru Siddhaswarupananda Paramahamsa, who leads an obscure offshoot of the Hare Krishna movement in Hawaii.

But Tulsi Gabbard jumped in. “I smell a skunk,” she emailed back. “It’s clear to me that you’re acting as a conduit for … homosexual extremist supporters of Ed Case.”

For years, rumors about their ties to guru Chris Butler have hounded U.S. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard and her father, state Sen. Mike Gabbard.

But one thing has remained: The Gabbard family’s ties to Butler still hound her — in the hallways of the Hawaii State Capitol, on blogs of political observers, on pages of online discussion forums, and in commentary sections of various news sites, including Civil Beat’s.

I thought I knew a lot, and I found out... how little I knew about what I know. And how much more there is to learn, if I listen and read what others have to say.
